HYDE PARK.

HYDE PARK.
Another tennis set has been placed
on the campus and every evening a
goodly number of players as we'll as
lockers on are gathered there.
Geo. Sargent of Eden sends in a
stalk of CORE that measures exactly
twelve feet in height. He would like
to know if anybody in Eden or in the
county can equal that.
A letter from West Berkshire re-
quests US to warn our readers con-
corning a certain "painless lightning

Everything indicates that the State
Fair this year will be greater success
than ever. Entries are pouring in
from every direction and with suitable
weather the joint exhibition will sur
pass anything heretofore seen in the
state. Mr.. L. D. Hazen of st. Johns
bury, will make a larger exhibit of his
celebrated cattle than last year if the
thing is possible. Remember that
Sep. 10th, is chiidren's day, and all
children under Is are admitted free.
The pony race and exhibition of ponies
will come off about 10 a. m. of that
day. Also remember that all entries
close Aug. 29th.
The Green River Sunday school
picnicked at the grove of S. H. Peck,
in Wolcott, Aug. 10th. Thirty-five
of them went by train from Norris
vile and were welcomed to the grove
by those who had driven to the grounds
in teams. A bountiful dinner was
partaken of and "Josiah Aliens wife,
was telling of ''pleasure eXertion"
she once enjoyed, when a slight show
er sent them all to the depot, but the
rain did not spoil the enjoyment of
the party, and all were delighted with
their picnic. The COMMITTEE of arrange
ments are pleasantly remembered for
their untiring efforts to secure the
comfort and pleasure of all.
Sunday last was beautiful day,
ard our worthy townsman, Fred Keel
er, concluded to attend camp-meeting,
as is his annual custom. So, hiring a
team and inviting a fellow commercial
traveller, D. III. Colby, to ride over,
they started. Now Mr.. Colby had
never before attended a camp-meet-
ing, and we conclude the time in rid
ing over was passed in Mr.. Keller en-
tightening his guest as to the methods,
&C., of camp-meetings generally. Ar
irving at the grounds, and not to lose
the company of his friend, Fred tied
his horse TO tree and they attended
services. When it became time to re-
turn home the team was sought; but
it was not where it had been tied.
The buggy and bride were there, but
no horse. could it have been stolen ?"
enquired Colby. mo, it probably
became uneasy and some friend has
taken it TO a safe place" was the re-
ply. A diligent search was made for
the friend, but he could not be found.
Finally some one asked what kind of
tree it was the horse had been tied to.
Now Fred knew that it was against
the rules of the association to tie to a
maple tree, and he takes pride in his
ability to tell the various kinds OF
trees, having spent his youthful days
on a farm but when he tied his team
to dead. scrawny maple he thought
it would be full as safe as if tied to a
mammoth beech or any other kind oil
tree. But it was gone, and upon fur
Their search it was found in the custody
of the officials. Keller could stand
all that, but when told it would cost
him dollar to get it back he squarelN
demurred.-nOt that he cared any
for the dollar, but he would no
be mulcted in that way. But ;
happy thought suddenly came owe
him he paid the dollar and ordered
the officials to return his horse TO TIL
place where they found it, which the.
did. Ordinarily we would not "giv
away the thought, but will in thi
case. Fred will attend camp-meetin
just the same, but when the hat
passed there will not be the usual lii
eral response from him. He will &c
, even with them in this way. His frien
: Colby not knowing how long he woul
have to remain on the grounds accept
ed the first invitation to ride home
and Fred came on alone, occupyin
his time in-well, we will here dra
2 the curtain.
